Ethereum Price Upside Ride to Continue

Yesterday, we saw a couple of important signs of the bullish continuation in ETH price against the US Dollar. The price did gain strength and was able to break all hurdles above $30.00. It retained the bullish pace and was able to break the last high above $30.84. The upside move was such that the price traded above the $36 level and traded as high as $36.09. If the current momentum stays intact, there is a chance of further gains towards the $38 or $40 levels.

The upside move was initiated once the price broke the $29.50 level. Moreover, yesterday’s highlighted contracting triangle pattern on the hourly chart (data feed via SimpleFX) was cleared around $30. It enabled ETH buyers to gain strength and take the price above $32. There are high chances that the price might continue to move higher above $36.09. It could easily test the $38 level in the near term.

On the downside, the price remains supported above $34. There is a new connecting bullish trend line formed with support at $34. So, if the price moves down, it might find support near $34 and $32.

Hourly MACD – The MACD is well into the bullish area, and gaining strength.
